Career

In 2014 and 2015, Morris was streaming blackjack gambling on casino websites, winning and losing thousands of dollars on any given day.[3] In May 2015, Morris lost $5000 on one hand with over 43,000 viewers watching him.[4]

Morris co-owned the Canadian eSports organization Northern Gaming. In August 2017, the organization was purchased by NRG Esports, which is owned by Shaquille O'Neal, Alex Rodriguez and others.[5][6] Morris subsequently joined its ownership group and became an advisor of NRG Esports.[6] In regards to Northern Gaming's short-lived career, Esports Insider stated: "It's the end of a short road for Northern Gaming, but their story will be looked back on as an example of achieving quick success in esports."[6]

Morris eliminated fellow streamer Dr DisRespect out of the H1Z1 Invitational tournament in October 2017. Nonetheless, Morris failed to make the top ten.[7]
